'Pasta for Pennies' a huge success at Hoover!

During the month of March, Hoover Middle School students participated in the "Pasta for Pennies" fundraising program, which raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Over the course of the month, during their four-hour class period, students donated spare change to the cause. The eventual winning class was awarded with a pasta lunch, courtesy of the Olive Garden Restaurant in Southgate -- a deal that certainly worth the change!

Overall, Hoover raised over $1,900 for the fight against leukemia and lymphoma.

The award-winning class was Mrs. Gibson's fourth-hour, seventh-grade match class. During the four-week campaign, they alone donated an amazing $619.

On Tuesday, May 14, they got to enjoy the rewards and were treated to a lunch of pasta marinara, salad and bread sticks.

Congrats to Mrs. Gibson's, her fourth-hour room and the rest of the students at Hoover for a job well done.

And by the way, pass the salad ...
